Introductory Course 2010

Tinaroo Sailing Club is on the Tablelands less than an hours drive from Cairns. 

J24 PROGRAM:   The fleet of 6 boats are used to conduct Introductory Sailing Courses for Adults, with an organised curriculum that exposes students in a “hands on” experience. The rudiments of boat management and safety issues are a focal point.

Four courses per year are scheduled. Each course is conducted on 6 consecutive Saturday afternoons from 1.00pm until the boats are moored again and all ship-shape by 4.30pm. Guidance and instruction is arranged with a “volunteer instructor” on each vessel with 3 students. A qualified instructor supervises the program.

Students join the affiliated club and pay a boat maintenance fee of $60.00 prior to enrolment.
